"It's 10 times as strong as a steel frame of the same weight would be?enough to survive the company's informal "run- over" test with a Ford F350 pickup ... composed of several hundred layers of carbon fiber, wrapped tightly with Kevlar cord and woven to form a long series of little pyramids."

Carbon I dont trust. Wonder how this will turn out in results once is tested by people that will actually ride it, and not ford vehicles.

for 7grand, I rather keep riding steel unless I plan to be mummified with my bike, which I'll probably consider... -
Aluminum is the limit for me.
But yes, Steel is real! 4130
But from a design angle, the triangle is the best form when it comes to bikes... in my opinion..
No holes in my frames thanks. -
Interesting! I am a biker myself and I can understand how some people would freak out with these holes. It gives the illusion of weakness.
-
I don't trust carbon either, especially as little as this appears to have.
